Sound notification for alerts February 24, 2016, 12:33:43 pm How about using a sound effect for new alerts as in FB chat ? Of course, only if it is real time.
Re: Sound notification for alerts Reply #1 – February 24, 2016, 12:54:53 pm Since it's not real time I think this idea is best served as a mod or a feature request for a mod that does real-time polling of the messages.
Re: Sound notification for alerts Reply #2 – February 24, 2016, 01:00:31 pm I was told that in 1.1 the notifications will be better. It is not real time then ? Requires a tab refresh ?
Re: Sound notification for alerts Reply #4 – February 24, 2016, 02:00:38 pm Is it hard to make it real time ?
Re: Sound notification for alerts Reply #5 – February 24, 2016, 02:32:10 pm Notifications in1.1 are probed every so often (I think I put 10 seconds, dunno exactly).The users may even chose to receive desktop notifications.I would say if you want a sound, tweak the OS to sound when a desktop notification is received, don't bother the webapp.IMHO. (Yes, I'm playing passing the buck here because I don't want to add yet another option that I would be pissed about[1] )1 In other terms I don't want my browser to play, so I'd need an option to turn it off, and that means adding yet another option to Elk that I don't want to.↵
Re: Sound notification for alerts Reply #6 – February 24, 2016, 03:51:54 pm I think its 10seconds as well at the moment ... I feel we should slow that down a bit though .... maybe 20 seconds?
Re: Sound notification for alerts Reply #7 – February 24, 2016, 03:59:30 pm Actually it's 15 seconds.

Re: Sound notification for alerts Reply #11 – February 24, 2016, 09:00:47 pm Considering Facebook delays notifications even for more than an hour at times, 20 seconds would be very much into the "ok" zone.
Re: Sound notification for alerts Reply #12 – February 25, 2016, 03:23:30 am Internet will die... actually, it may came back to be an interesting place.Unfortunately, I doubt FB will disappear any time soon, FB is for social networks what google has been for search engines, we will see it for a looooooooooong time.
